I think climate change is happening, and human activity is making it happen at unnatural rates. The more greenhouse gas emissions, the more ice melts and seas rise. Trucks alone release 23 percent of greenhouse gasses which increase Earth's temperature.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe climate change is happening because of humans and the actions we are executing. One of the reasons to this is deforestation. Trees take carbon dioxide out of the air and filter it to then release it as oxygen. As we're cutting down more trees, we're losing that filtration system, and that carbon dioxide builds up in the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels. For example, the Amazon RainForest is one of our largest rainforests. By cutting down a lot of the trees there, we're losing a large filtration system.

I believe climate change is happening because of human activities such as burning fossil fuels and cutting down forest. I believe Humans can find many ways to reduce the impact of climate change, by doing things that have a positive result on the environment such as using clean energy sources and limiting deforestation.

My opinion on climate change is it's happening. Only people can change how it turns out. They can either chill out on using the wrong chemicals or continue and make things worse. We are the future of this world. There's so many studies out there that we can learn from and we can do our own research as well. Curious minds are a beautiful thing. We just need to learn to make things better.

I believe climate change is happening because of the burning fossils fuels and deforestation being the major contributors to global warming, as well as human activity.

# data[].attributes.body
My opinion on climate change is all over the place. A lot of studies show that climate change has been becoming worse and worse in recent years. The amount of excess greenhouse gasses coming from cars, trains, etc are becoming trapped in the environment and heating it. Despite this, one could still make the argument that the Earth has always heated up and cooled down in cycles, with some of these cycles being more severe than others. With no way of knowing whether this is another mere cycle or something worse, the only thing we can do is work against it in hopes to cool the planet down.

# data[].attributes.body
I am confident that human activity is playing a role in climate change and I also think about thousands of years ago when there was ice age and the enviroment started to melt do to an increase in warmer climate

# data[].attributes.body
i 100% believe climate change is in effect. according to climate.gov, despite he united states not being the leading emitter in total annual carbon dioxide emissions, as of 2021 we still release 5 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide. that is 13.49% of the total global emissions. ever since the industrial revolution, the smog, smoke, greenhouse gasses and global warming rates have skyrocketed. there is plenty evidence to support this reasoning. global warming would have occurred regardless of human activity or not, but i believe human activity has made it so much worse.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe climate change is happening, and human activities are significantly accelerating it. Scientific evidence, such as the substantial increase in greenhouse gas concentrations and the corresponding rise in global temperatures, strongly supports this view. Human actions, particularly the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, are major contributors to this rapid climate change.

I am firmly convinced that climate change is a critical issue demanding urgent attention. Scientific evidence from reputable sources like NASA and NOAA demonstrates that human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, are driving significant changes in Earth's climate. Experts widely agree, as shown by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), that the situation is very serious. Ignoring these warnings could have devastating consequences for our planet and future generations. Therefore, it is important that we take decisive action to curb greenhouse gas emissions and transition to sustainable practices. If we pay attention to the evidence and work together, we can lessen the effects of climate change and create a stronger, more lasting future. Investing in renewable energy sources can help decrease our reliance on fossil fuels and combat climate change.

# data[].attributes.body
My opinion on Climate change is that it is happening. Humans are a big part of it. The world uses a lot of resources but we need some of them. We burn a lot of fuels and gasses and overpopulate the earth. There are more better options we could use instead of harming the earth more. You cant force everyone to want to change the world but you can speak up about it. Hopefully some day people are more kind to the earth.

My opinion on climate is that it is changing because through the years we have seen how the human and natural activity has affected the climate, it looks weird when you believe on both causes but here is my evidence. Evidence 1: Activities such as agriculture, road construction, and deforestation can change the reflectivity of the earth's surface, leading to local warming or cooling. This effect is observed in heat islands, which are urban centers that are warmer than the surrounding, less populated areas.

And evidence of how natural activity has had affected climate change, Over the course of Earth's existence, volcanic eruptions, fluctuations in solar radiation, tectonic shifts, and even small changes in our orbit have all had observable effects on planetary warming and cooling patterns.

# data[].attributes.body
i think it is hard to say how much climate change affects us because we don't know what exact damage that would take place if the world did not need to consume the resources we use. i think it's important to keep track of the damage we cause as humans but i also realized for the time being that our way of life at the moment is dependent on the burning of fossil fuels. at this point i have not seen or an effort to replace all fossi fuels with better options around the world.i think it will take an major global effort to fix this problem. its hard to imagine the world changing their lives into alternative energies which can be very expensive .hopefully one day we can.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that climate change is happening, but I think it is natural and human activity is not significantly influencing it because the planet has experienced the very hot temperature. There have been cold temperatures for long periods of time.

while I think that burning fossil fuels is not good for the environment, it is hard to say certain things because we don't know exactly what the planet would be like if human activity did not happen the way it does.

# data[].attributes.body
my opinion on climate change is that humans are effecting it and causing it to happen at a faster rate. evidence 1 is greenhouse gasses. due to the multiple factories and plants are releasing carbon dioxide into the air. evidence 2 is carbon dioxide is causing the glaciers and ice caps to melt.

# data[].attributes.body
Climate change is real, it's being caused primarily by human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation, and it's a serious problem. The good news is that we can still address it by switching to clean energy, protecting forests, and adopting sustainable practices.

# data[].attributes.body
I am confident in my opinion that humans do affect the climate, but natural causes affect it more. My evidence to support my opinion is given below:

Evidence #1 is the fact that the crust of the Earth is made of stone, and lava is melted stone. A thing happening that could be affecting the climate change, is the fact that the lava is slowly getting closer to the surface, and making new volcanos, or making other volcanos spew more lava.

﻿Evidence #2 is that the heat from the sun gets trapped in the Earth because of the atmosphere, therefore the longer we get hit by the sun, the hotter the Earth becomes.

# data[].attributes.body
Climate change is happening . Winter in areas where once got cold and lots of snow is now milder and areas where its warm year round has been having colder temperatures and some even with snow . Changes in the weather are causing impacts on our food supply . I live in northeast PA and in the start of spring we usually have our normal birds, but we have noticed due to the weather the last few years the birds have been coming earlier and leaving later which lets us know the weather is changing.

# data[].attributes.body
Climate change is happening even if we don't want it to. I believe it was bound to happen but with things we do and use today and in the past are affecting it and making it worse sooner.

# data[].attributes.body
Climate change is a pressing issue that is affecting our planet in numerous ways. Rising global temperatures are leading to more frequent and severe weather events, such as hurricanes, heatwaves, and droughts. The melting of polar ice caps and glaciers is causing sea levels to rise, posing a threat to coastal communities. Furthermore, changes in weather patterns are impacting agriculture, leading to food shortages in some regions. The increase in greenhouse gas emissions from human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, is a major contributor to climate change. It is crucial for individuals, governments, and businesses to take action to reduce emissions and mitigate the impacts of climate change for the sake of future generations.

# data[].attributes.body
I think humans are causing global warming to increase. I think this because we are burning fossil fuels which are causing greenhouse gas levels to rise, which then causes the earth temperature to rise. This is preventing the earth cycle of natural cooling.

# data[].attributes.body
Climate change is definitely happening. The seasons of the year aren't consistent with the past. We have global warming and the weather goes from super hot to cold and then back to hot then cold. Pollution and emissions are definitely affecting the atmosphere and affecting climate change.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe climate change is real because it's affecting our everyday lives in ways we can see and feel. Look around, temperatures are rising, weather patterns are becoming more unpredictable, and natural disasters like hurricanes, floods, and wildfires are happening more frequently and with greater intensity.

Think about it like this, imagine you're in a room with no windows, and someone keeps turning up the heat. Even if you can't see them doing it, you feel the temperature rising. That's what's happening to our planet. The more we burn fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas for energy, the more heat-trapping gases like carbon dioxide we release into the atmosphere. And just like in the room, it's getting hotter.

I don’t think it’s us that’s messing up the climate change but I think it’s the society and community that is

I think climate change is inevitable and would have happened whether humans were here or not

# data[].attributes.body
Climate change is real and will continue until we take action. Some proof of this is acid rain, smog, and trash islands. Another sign of proof is changing migration patterns and changes in weather. An example of human involvement is fracking and pollution. Humans heavily impact the environment.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that climate change is real and is still going on. Many scientists have proven already that it is real. But there are two main reasons for why I believe this. First, is that the more CO2 is in the air the higher the climate got. Second, most of the places that are know for having glaciers are growing grass and trees. They don't have much ice anymore. I also believe the main cause is people because things like this weren't a big problem before major advances like the industrial revolution.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe climate change is real. I believe this because as time has gone on temperatures feel like they are getting harsher. Summers used to be hot but now its so hot on a lot of days to where its obnoxious. Glaciers melting have shown how much climate change has grown. This increases the water levels which is not good for the future.

# data[].attributes.body
I think climate change is happening, and human activity is making it happen at unnatural rates. For example, burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas is a human activity that causes climate change most. A second example, humans tend to burn fossil fuels, cut down forests, and farming livestock causes green house gasses to spread around the atmosphere. With the gases being spread out they trap heat making the earths temperature to rise.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe climate change is real.I think it is real because the winters use to be really cold and snow a lot but now it does not snow much and the lakes don't freeze as much as they use to.The summers are way more hot then they use to be to.

# data[].attributes.body
I do believe climate change is real. If you have payed attention throughout life you can tell that are winters arent even cold anymore. The summers are going back and forth with the heat. The pattern is all messed up. This has been going on for a long time and i feel no one noticed. It is the humans fault also we are killing out world.

# data[].attributes.body
I know climate change is happening. The melting of the glaciers have caused a huge difference in the oceans temperature. Meanwhile migratory birds have had to change their migration patterns due to the fact that the weather has been getting warmer sooner.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe climate change is real. If you notice the winters are barely cold and we some areas rarely get snow. The seasons don't seem to have the same pattern as they did when I was younger. Summer temperatures go from 60's to 90's in the same week. The weather is so unpredictable. Whether or not it is humans actually causing or natural occurrences, I'm not sure. However, I do think human activity has some to do with it because people seem less concern about caring for the Earth.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that climate change is happening. I believe it is due to people who are polluting the air. Think that it also has to due with over populated. Factories also do cause pollution. We do use lots of fossil fuels. Climate is always changing.

# data[].attributes.body
Climate change is a serious and pressing topic that is caused by human activities, such as pollution, overpopulation, and the use of gasoline-driven cars. These activities release greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere, which trap heat and disrupt the Earth's climate system. Additionally, deforestation and land-use changes lead to the loss of carbon sinks, and improper disposal of waste leads to the emission of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. To address the challenges posed by climate change, it is important to take action, such as transitioning to cleaner and renewable sources of energy, implementing sustainable land-use practices, promoting recycling and waste reduction, and supporting policies that mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.

# data[].attributes.body
Climate change has been happening for a long time now, and it is only becoming more and more noticable. Im not really sure how exactly it is caused, but we play a big part.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that climate change is increasing rapidly due to humans. We use tons of fossil fuels which contribute to greenhouses gases, which then warm the atmosphere. A lot of machinery and factories contribute to this as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Climate change is happening. I am not sure how much we can do to change it. We have evolved too far to go back.

# data[].attributes.body
Climate change is happening and it is happening fast because of us. Ever sense humans have started to use fossil fuels for energy, we have been harming our planet. Fossil fuels are things like coal, oil, and natural gas and when burned release carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into our atmosphere. Greenhouse gases are harmful to our environment because they trap heat and other pollution in our atmosphere. In these past lessons we have learned that the heat that gets trapped is harming our planet. It is causing global temperatures to rise, melting ice caps/sheets, making ocean water warmer which makes it expand, causes animals to adapt faster, takes away food from humans and animals, and the list goes on and on. The Earth is getting warmer and it is almost all because of us because we are disrupting the natural flow of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases by releasing more than the planet can handle.

climate change is the average in which conditions are such as, temperature and rain fall in the region over a long period of time.

# data[].attributes.body
I am not sure if we were making progress at all those years ago when they decided to use nonrenewable fossil fuels like coal and oil in power plants to make electricity and heat. I think not all progress is good progress. We as humans keep destroying are plant and don't even believe it's are own actions is the reason why the are in the shape we are in today. Until we believe we are one of the biggest reasons for climate change ,understand how we can start changing this.

# data[].attributes.body
I absolutely believe that climate change is happening, and we humans are to blame for it. Ancient evidence can be found in tree rings, ocean sediment, coral reefs, and layers of sedimentary rocks. Evidence is also ice glaciers from 50 years ago compared to now. You can see that ice glaciers now are melted, or on their way to be. Us humans are causing this. Humans burning fossil fuels, are releasing huge amounts of carbon pollution and trapping more and more heat into the atmosphere. Humans cutting down forests, are releasing much of the stored carbon into the atmosphere.

# data[].attributes.body
Personally, I don't feel humans are the make or break difference with climate change. I think we need to try to be more careful and do our part, but we do not have that much influence on the environment around us that is the 100% reason for climate change. If you look back at data on weather, you can see patterns of cooling and heating long before fossil fuels were being burned. We should try to do our part to use less fossil fuel if we can to be able to slow this cycle of warming. It is possible things will swing back the other way and be getting cooler. I think the issue may be that the cooling and warming cycles outlive generations, so we will not likely be around if a cooling cycle begins.

# data[].attributes.body
I Don't think humans are the main reason for climate change, because when it snows it will be more heavier in some spot and it will be light in the some spots.

I think Global Warming exists without humans but I think we make it so much worse. We use so many things that release harmful gases that contribute to Global Warming.  I think it has been proven many times that we contribute a lot but a lot of people choose to ignore it or blame it on something else. We have also been given many ways to change and yet we still have many problems because of our actions. I do not believe we are to blame for all of it but I think we have made it much worse. I do think we can fix it though if we show people and get them to believe there is a problem.

# data[].attributes.body
Climate change is something that has been rising in the past two decades, and humans are to blame. It is by human hands that fossil fuels are burned and factories are made that release greenhouse gases into the air.

# data[].attributes.body
Climate change is definitely happening and we are 100% to blame for it. We take our Earth for granted. All we do is take and take, we don't give back. The Earth provides us with shelter, food, water, and oxygen. And in return we tear down forests, destroy land, take down historical monuments, and kill species. We are killing our home and yet blaming everything but ourselves.

# data[].attributes.body
It is happening.

# data[].attributes.body
I do think climate change is messing with Earth. Humans using excess fertilizer can turn into nitrous oxide which gets into our clean water. Burning of fossil fuels puts CO2 into the air making breathing difficult for many and asthma rates are rising. CO2 is the main cause for temperatures rising in the atmosphere as well. The ice caps melting is causing oceans to rise and countries to flood like Italy currently. And finally greenhouse gasses hold heat into the atmosphere which causes the earth to heat at rapid speeds.

# data[].attributes.body
I do think climate change is messing with are environment I think this because of how the climate is making cold places warmer and that messes with animals who do live in colder environments. I also do think people don't take climate change seriously and I think that because they really don't see or really understand what is going on with are environment.

# data[].attributes.body
I absolutely believe climate change is happening, and that human activity is making it worse! It is true there have been changes to climate in the past, but not at these rates or this quickly. The extreme of it is also pointed to the fact that we are accelerating it. In the past 100 years, there has been so many amazing developments in technology, but unfortunately, their amazing results are having disastrous consequences. The chemicals being released in the air by fossil fuels are dangerous to everyone on this planet! They are making us sicker, which is proves by the higher rates of asthma and even potentially cancer!  The fertilizer runoff is harming animal habitats, let alone polluting our oceans. This harms yet another form of life: marine life! This is affecting life on a grand scale, and there is proof! Some could argue that it's happening slowly, but that doesn't mean it isn't happening at all! We must find better and healthier alternatives to our current means of energy for the sake of all life on this wonderful world of ours!

# data[].attributes.body
While it is true that I believe human activity to be a man problem, it is also true that MOST information learnt and also just altogether points to human activity being a reason for climate change. Though I also believe that we would reach the same result without human activity, though it would be in the future I believe that humans are only expediting the process.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that climate changes is starting to get higher. This is also us humans fault as well. This can be cause whether were cutting down trees or farming. This is increasing the climate and earths temperature.

# data[].attributes.body
I think we need to plant more trees.

# data[].attributes.body
I do believe climate change is happening, but I am on the fence as to whether or not it is entirely caused by human activity. I do believe we need to continue to try to reduce our carbon footprint, but I also believe fossil fuels are a necessary part of our lives. There needs to be more balance. There is also the natural progression of the environment, as the rotation of the earth and the natural pulls that bring us closer to the sun are an unavoidable part of global warming also. That can not be changed. So, as our populations increase, we just need to be more mindful and continue to look for ways to improve.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the rate of climate change is accelerating. This is all our fault in a way too. We rely on large machinery that create mass amounts of CO2. We also have large farms that create mass amounts of methane. Both gases are green house gases and hold heat at the surface.

# data[].attributes.body
i feel like climate change is because of people but then natural as well

# data[].attributes.body
I believe climate change it's changing how species animals living in their habitats and people remove trees for houses and for Heat in one way that we can save animals and species implants from being disturbed is we can put up signs this land is for wildlife not cutting down trees else the tree is dead.

# data[].attributes.body
I personally believe that climate change is a thing and humans are worsening the affects of it. We previously learned about the Paris Agreement. The agreement is asking for everyone around the world to limit the release of fossil fuels, use of fertilizers, etc... and play their part to limit the warming of the earth. This shows that the action to change our habits was required meaning that we were doing things that were making climate change worse. We had also previously learned about the use of fertilizers and how they have been polluting the oceans and rivers. We have all the dead zones and other affects to prove it.

# data[].attributes.body
I do believe climate change is happening. Humans burning fossil fuels produces a lot of carbon dioxide which is a crucial greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gas influence climate by changing the incoming solar radiation. Deforestration is bad too because cutting down trees releases CO2. This causes global warming. CO2 caused by humans is changing the climates of the oceans. Global warming by humans are helping to shrink the Artic ice caps. Temperatures rising in oceans are due to climate change this causes more moisture in the air. All the moisture in the air causes heavier rainfalls in the summer and major snowfalls in the winter.

# data[].attributes.body
Climate change, from my perspective, is undeniable. Though there are natural elements that can affect climate change, the climate change we're experiencing is directly caused by people. The greenhouse gasses we have been emitting have made a tangible difference to the planet. Not only this but the changes in global temperatures, weather patterns, and biodiversity can all be directly linked to human activity.

# data[].attributes.body
I think climate change is happening. Even if is a natural process human activities have an influence and cause in the environment. Human activities like burning fossil fuels to produce energy and products in an accelerated speed produce large amount of pollutants in the air. The large amount of carbon in the air can not be balance with the natural process because is too much. So, this large amount cause that the heat stay on the surface on Earth keeping the heat and melting glaciers and rising ocean levels. if this is not controlling the species would not be able to adapt and can extinct.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe climate change is happening, and human activity has a significant impact on it. one of the many ways being fertilizer pollution excess fertilizer can convert to nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas 300 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Also fossil fuels releases CO2 in the air that damages the ozone layer.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is important to respect science and research and keep politics separate. If we look at the data from unbiased sources and we listen to unbiased scientists, I think it makes sense to conclude that global warming is a very real problem and humans are a big part of it. If it turns out that global warming needs to be addressed and we did nothing, it will be too late. If we decide we are unsure but choose to act, the worst that happens is we make some good changes that help the earth.

# data[].attributes.body
If you look into pollution and you see what it is, it is all from human activity. The bottle that ends up in the ocean. The trash that ends up on the side of the road. The oil spills that end up in lakes take out the sea life. This is all stuff that is from humans. Therefore, there is solid proof that we have an effect on the world.

# data[].attributes.body
I personally feel that, while climate change is a natural part of life on Earth, humans have accelerated the rate at which it is currently happening. Since the Industrial Revolution, humans have increased the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere by almost 50%, causing increased temperatures and more severe weather. Using ice cores from places like Iceland and Antarctica, scientists have been able to determine that our current climate change is occurring nearly 10 times faster than most global warmings. This fast-paced climate change means that many plants and animals cannot adapt fast enough to their new environments, which can cause extinction.

# data[].attributes.body
Humans have had a large impact on climate change. The use of fossil fuels has caused the C02 levels to rise, increasing Earth's temperature. The melting of the ice caps and the destruction of many animal habitats. One example of this is the alarming amount of bleaching found in coral reefs all over the ocean. The frequent changes in the weather and the temperatures is also from climate change. We can use cleaner energy and reduce the use of fossil fuels to help slow down climate change.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that humans have had some impact on climate change. I also do think that climate change is natural. The reason why I think its natural is because Earth has gone through really cold climate like with ice age and then the planet drastically warmed up. I do also think we have an affect on it from burning fossil fuels which causes there to be more carbon that warms the planet. So overall I think its mostly natural while humans do impact it a bit.

# data[].attributes.body
Since we humans have learned to make things like coal plants and nuclear plants, it has been pretty wild. We don't know how or when to stop and that is causing the climate to change. Instead of caring for the earth we hurt it by putting off heat, and a lot of it. We are causing so much heat/ green house gases that the ice glaciers and the snow and icebergs started to melt. We are causing animals to change to adapt to a less snowy environment. We as people, are hurting the planet, rather than protecting and changing our ways to keep it clean.

# data[].attributes.body
There is a lot of evidence already that shows human impact on the environment. Since fossil fuels are being used a lot now, a lot of carbon dioxide is being released into the air. It is allowing more solar rays through the ozone but is not allowing as much heat back out. The heat is raising the global temperature. The rise in heat is melting the ice caps, which raises the sea level. This explanation makes a lot of sense, and the cause of this is human activity.
